FALSB REPORTS.

The attention of the Board of COun.
ty Commissioners is invited to the fact
that their clerk, Auditor E. S. Mills
does not report their proceedings fair
~, justly and according to law. Mills
has for years made use of his reports OF
the proceedings of the Board to shield
his friends and wllack ut his supposed
enemies.
We invite the members Of the Board
to take up the report OF the last meet
ing rs an illustration of Mills duplic-
ity, umfsirness and incOrrectness. No.
tice that lie omits the resolution desig-
mating the ADVANCE us the paper in
which to publish the delinquent tax
list, etc. he omits the bids of the four
papers, and instead goes into long ex
plantations, taking up as much space us
(if not more space than) the original
documents would have taken. Then
he works in reports Of conversation
and remarks about the printing which
are falsely reported al which have no
place in the report. Remember that
he does not do this in his reports AS. to
bridge OF other contracts. But he DUR
posely made tIe report so that he could
appea: to it afterwards in the quarrel
which he intended to force upon the
Board.
Take one example. In his report lie
says concerning US:
lie was called in and asked for per.
mission to Withdraw and to change his
bid. Said he had not understood that
the printing was to be LIT separately.
Now, this whole matter is so report
ed as to put us in false light before
the public. Our bids were just as
much separate bids as those of the
other papers. They were divided into
separate bids aud numbered, but were
not on separate sheets of paper. And
our first bid, in writing, closed as fol-
lows:
The above bids are made with the
understanding that the character and
value of the newspapers for reaching
the tax payers, shall be taken into con-
sideration, as the law requires. If the
papers are not called on to show their
lists and circulation, respectfully ask
the privilege of bidding again.
Notice that in the above we say 1.-THE
a5oye BIDS" mot the "above bid")
showing that the bids were more than
one and separate, and that we asked
the privilege of withdrawing and bid
ding again if the circulation was not
to be taken into account. This was
all written out and sent in before the
Board or their clerk knew anything
about our bids.
The truth is, Mills and his paper
knew there was no chance against the
ADVANCE if the law was to be CON.
piled with, and so they resorted to sub
terfnges, to hand-bill circulation and
to ill-tempered threats, to force the
Board to give the printing to a paper
which acknowledges by its supplement
offer that it has not 4 regular circula-
ton to reach the tax payers. Failing
in this, Mills peryerts the official re.
port and his paper mis- states the facts
in order to cheek through and lie
through their fight on the RDard

Attorney Town, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, ap-
pears this week in another letter de.
Tending the board from the false charg-
es of their clerk, f. S. Mills, and from
the attacks of his paper, the Globe.
We think Mr.. II. pins down at least
two false statements, made by these
disappointed aspirants for the county
printing, viz: the one that the Globe
offered to circulate 500 copies each
week among the tax payers, and the
other that Mr.. T. admitted that he
was in favor OF giving the printing
to all the papers.
The fact is, Mills and Hitchcock.
1.-THE serpentine Hose and the Nozzle. J
have undertaken a desperate fight
against the County Board, which can
not be maintained without good deal
of false statement which looks in some
places like deliberate and intentional
lying.
They had better retire under cover
CT the night and save their own credit.

There have been two distinct ideas Of

we have this to say, that the Democratic

which is reputation, when we have a
distinct offer of fair settlement.
